“Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:15-16 NIV
One of life’s great revelations is when we find out that that we can make a real difference in someone’s life. We often may think, what can just one person do or accomplish? The problems and issues we face seem too enormous or complex for just one person to make a real difference. That kind of thinking leads us to just give up, never try or even worse- stop caring!
Darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. The greater the light the more darkness that is dispelled. We all can make a difference in someone’s circumstances. We just have to place our light or efforts on a stand, a place where it can make a real difference and be seen. We are told to shine our light before the world that they may see the goodness of God through your good deeds. This brings glory to God and transformation to others. Darkness is just the absence of light. Evil is just the absence of goodness abounding in our circumstances.
We were called my friends to make a difference through the Good News of Jesus Christ! Let the us shine that light of redemption and freedom every where we go. Real change happens one person at a time- so go make a difference in someone life today!
In Christ
